Turq: Let me try to use an analogy. A cop pulls me over for speeding. He gets off his motor cycle and walks up to my window and says, > "You were speeding." I say, "Yes, I was." He says, "Well...aren't you going to make some excuse?" I say, "No. I was speeding." He then says, "Well...*I* expect you to show some remorse. Otherwise I'm going to write you up for speeding." And I say, "Write me up. I was speeding." But he *keeps* standing there, saying over and over, "But...but...you *have* to express some > remorse...that's what I *expect* when I bust someone for doing something I consider wrong." And I keep saying, "Write the ticket."
Lurk: Yea, of course. This makes sense. We're on the same page, (not that you give a r a.) This was the point I was making. You were a naughty boy, and as a naughty boy, there might be consequences. I don't care if you are repentant. I didn't expect you be repentant. I just thought you were trying to make a flame into stress release, and aren't we (the greater good) better that the stress has been released. Plus, it appears that the flaming violation is not going to be prosecuted anyway. If I have picked up on what Rick is saying, he is not comfortable making a subjective judgement on what is or is not a flame, and can't/won't make this determination. Too bad that he feels this way. As Meister Edg has oft said, even a 10 year can spot what we would call a flame. I was just trying to hi-light these posts. I turned around expecting to see some back up, and realized there wasn't any. Boo hoo for me. love ya. lurk
